Disabling Bootstrap Validator for certain field

Question

I'm new to Bootstrap Validator and Jquery generally and am trying to accomplish something.

I have a form with fields e.g.

<div class="form-group" id="price_container">
    <label for="price">Asking Price</label><input class="form-control" style="width: 50%;" type="text" id="price" name="price" >
</div>

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="title">Title</label>
    <input class= "form-control" type="text" name="title">
</div>

and I have it validating ok with:

 $('#multiform')
    .find('[name="list_type"]')
        .change(function(e) {
           $('#multiform').bootstrapValidator('revalidateField', 'price');
        })
        .end()
    .bootstrapValidator({
        message: 'This value is not valid',
        feedbackIcons: {
            required: 'fa fa-asterisk',
            valid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-ok',
            invalid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-remove',
            validating: 'glyphicon glyphicon-refresh'
        },
        fields: {
            price: {
                validators: {
                   notEmpty: {
                      message: 'The price is required and cannot be empty'
                   },
                   integer: {
                      message: 'You can only enter an integer'
                   }, 
                   regexp: {
                      regexp: /^[0-9]+$/,
                      message: 'The price can only consist of numbers'
                   }      
                }
            }
        }
    });

However, when a certain action is taking place, I'd like to disable the valiadation (do i can upload images to the server). I've looked at the documentation here: http://bootstrapvalidator.com/examples/enable-validator/

and have got this:

$(document).on("click", ".btn-danger", function () {
      $('#multiform').bootstrapValidator().enableFieldValidators('price', false);
}

but this is simply not working. I know it should be relatively easy, but being a noob I cant work it out.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Try this:

$('#surveyForm').bootstrapValidator('enableFieldValidators', 'price', true);

Working sample below:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#surveyForm').find('[name="list_type"]')
        .change(function(e) {
           $('#surveyForm').bootstrapValidator('revalidateField', 'price');
        })
        .end()
    .bootstrapValidator({
        message: 'This value is not valid',
        feedbackIcons: {
            required: 'fa fa-asterisk',
            valid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-ok',
            invalid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-remove',
            validating: 'glyphicon glyphicon-refresh'
        },
        fields: {
            price: {
                validators: {
                   notEmpty: {
                      message: 'The price is required and cannot be empty'
                   },
                   integer: {
                      message: 'You can only enter an integer'
                   }, 
                   regexp: {
                      regexp: /^[0-9]+$/,
                      message: 'The price can only consist of numbers'
                   }      
                }
            }
        }
    });
    
    $(document).on("change", "#inlineCheckbox1", function () {
      if($(this).is(":checked")) {
        $('#surveyForm').bootstrapValidator('enableFieldValidators', 'price', true);
      } else {
        $('#surveyForm').bootstrapValidator('enableFieldValidators', 'price', false);
      }
    });
    
    $("#surveyForm").submit(function(e){
      alert("Validation completed");
      return false;
    });
});

Answer 2

Here is a working version:http://jsfiddle.net/silviagreen/ym48cfxd/

   $(document).on("click", ".btn-danger", function () {
        var bootstrapValidator = $('#multiform').data('bootstrapValidator');
        bootstrapValidator.enableFieldValidators('price', false);
   });

Have a look at the js fiddle to know which version of jquery, bootstrap and bootstrapValidator I used to make it work.

I know this is an old post but maybe this can be useful to other people.
